The Rat Pack

Kev McCarthy

The founder of Totally Ratted and therefore its earliest contributor, Kev is our
Head of Development and the Managing Director for Totally Ratted Limited. Whilst not
working on development and software testing contracts for third parties, Kev keeps himself
busy by getting involved with as many Totally Ratted projects as he has time for. From writing
a book on music theory to designing a game engine and everything between, he almost certainly
wants us to refer to him as a polymath!

A guitarist since 1976, Kev has recorded with numerous bands and has recorded dozens more.
Extensive experience of live work as a roadie, musician and sound engineer has secured his
addiction to being a musician. His own musical stylings tend towards the heavier side of the
rock spectrum, generally the more thrashy and progressive parts of Heavy Metal ... although
he can be heard playing jazz and folk during his more laid back moments (rare though they are).

Quite simply, the organisational heart of the Totally Ratted brand. Without Zeb as our Director
of Operations, keeping the day to day paperwork under control, we would probably struggle more than
we generally like to admit. Let's face it, putting up with the rest of us probably deserves a medal
at the best of times - doing it voluntarily is either foolhardy or masochistic. To be totally honest,
we've not been able to decide which it is.

We will be the first to admit that Zeb isn't just a pretty filing system! A 3D artist, she created
the album covers for a number of bands, including her stunning 3D modelled pieces for Keltic Jihad
& Anubis Dawn. A recent foray into learning piano has become a bit of an obsession, which none of the
musicians among us have a problem with at all. We promise to record her playing as soon as she gives us
permission!

Rod Boston

A long time musical collaborator with Totally Ratted and with Kev McCarthy in particular.
Rod acts as the artist liaison for Totally Ratted Productions and is currently working to
make our in-house label, Rage Incarnate Records, a reality. When the label opens its doors,
which we anticipate will be later in 2016, Rod will take the reins as its Director of Music
and will also act as its Head of Artists & Repertoire.

Rod splits his time between multiple rock and metal bands - Raven's Creed, Bull Riff Stampede,
Keltic Jihad & Invidia the most recent among them, although the list grows ever longer!
Rod has worked as a bass player and vocalist in bands since the mid-1980s and has appeared on
a dozen albums and many more demos since plugging in his trusty Tobias bass. That number seems
certain to continue to rise, given his current recording schedule.

As our Product Owner for Customer Experience, Glenn is ultimately responsible for the game based
websites and other platforms that are customer facing. Nothing gets out of the building without
Glenn agreeing that it is acceptable to show to the general public ... and he's a stickler for accurancy
and quality, especially if it is likely to annoy Kev and Darren (call it a second vocation). He's sat
here denying it, but we all know it's true! He is also our in house expert on electronic hardware,
having spent half a life with soldering iron and multimeter in hand.

Glenn has spent the last decade attempting to break every rule we create for the role playing game behind
the Imperialis engine. This means that the metrics inside the game engine have been tested to within an inch
of their lives, as he subjects them to as much abuse as he can imagine (just like he does with all of us).
We believe that this has enhanced the quality of all of our products, as they are built on an extremely
solid foundation. As for his impact on the management team, let's just say that the therapist bills are
sizeable and leave it at that!

Darren Ramsdale

What can be said about Darren that hasn't been said before? Not very much, as even the expletive
filled phrases have already been used ... mostly by Glenn & Kev, to be honest. An accomplished
multi-instrumentalist, he has performed in many different styles from classical to metal, but he
retains a love for folk and progressive rock. Like Kev, he's one of those guys that everyone wants
on their pub quiz team. Both have an admitted addiction to spending hours memorising wikipedia!

Chief amongst his responsibilities within Totally Ratted is the Product Ownership of the Plot &
History project within the Imperialis game engine and role playing game. He brings decades of experience
maintaining the complex and intricate histories found in the Live Role Play system run by the Lorien Trust.
He is extremely well versed in dark age Scandinavian history, especially as it pertains to the sagas. We
hear that there is also a book in the offing ... rest assured, you'll find out about it here first!
